We have heard from our very good friend Peter Bergner about the new Expeditionary Force Persian Chariot that is coming out. Peter gave us the following press release from Expeditionary Force.
| Very pleased to inform you that the Persian Scythed Chariot (box-set no. 60 PSN 70 Y), a supplementary set to the Greek and Persian Wars and Macedonian Wars are now in production and we expect to be able to ship before the end of the week 25 March 2016. |
The last two photos have been dried brush to show the detail of the figures. We thank Peter for sharing these photos.
Lovely looking Chariot and Figures, I will be buying at least 1 of these. I hope Expeditionary Force keeps up the Good work and keeps producing Great figures like these.
With LOD coming out with Chariots this year also we will have quite the selection for battles or Ben Hur set ups.
Man, those are nice looking, glad I don’t do Ancients.
Nice done design.The covered horses are more of a later period any how.But I can see they could be removed too maybe!?
The cover for the horses looks like it is the way that they attach to the chariot.
It looks like they are going to try for some generic horses as I see the ones for the Zulu War cavalry have the saddle cloth moulded on, but the saddle is separate, so possibly these chariot ones are going to be re-used on some other sets.
Speaking of LOD, I will have the complete fort at Indy/Lafayette. I should be the only one there with it. Reserve it now.
I will use then more for Alexanders wars till early roman persian sasanian wars.
Early main battles during the two invassion of Greece by Persians do not record the use of it.
This Scythed Chariot reminds me of the final race scene in Ben Hur.
